"Did you find out what secrets she has from the Gosa family?" asked Billy.
"We haven't used any interrogation methods on her yet, so we haven't gotten any information." Judge shook his head. "However, based on her words, it seems to involve some political maneuvering within the Gosa family in Northfortia."
"In that case, eliminate her!" Billy waved his hand dismissively.
Billy had no interest in the internal conflicts of Northfortia. When it came to dealing with a country like Northfortia, all other methods were futile. Only force would work, and they needed to intimidate them thoroughly, preferably for a hundred years!
"Understood!" Judge nodded in response.
"Boss, when are you planning to visit Celestiford?" Casey asked from the side.
Casey knew very well that Billy wouldn't let the matter with the Harvey clan slide. While last time, he had spared Sheila Harvey's life due to General Wilson's intervention, this time, it seemed unlikely she would be given another chance, even if General Wilson made a phone call. In addition, the branch offices of the Central Plains Business Association were spread all over Glavale, like a horde of parasites that needed to be eliminated.
"I'll go in the next couple of days." Billy replied after a brief moment of contemplation.
"The situation in the central region is more complicated than the other areas. I've heard that the head of the War Department hasn't given up yet." Casey continued.
"If he wants that position so badly, we can give it to him." Billy said with a casual smile. With that, he waved his hand and added, "Alright, you can go back now. I'll call you if there's anything."
"Okay!" Casey nodded before turning to leave.
Shortly after, Billy and Stout drove back to Royal View Villas.
"Honey, you're back!" As Billy entered the house, Harleen, who had been resting at home, stood up from the sofa.
"Harleen, you finished work so early today?" Billy smiled and asked.
"I had a meeting outside today, and after it ended, I came straight home." Harleen replied with a sweet smile.
"No wonder!" Billy laughed. "Where's mom? Did she go to pick up Tasha?"
"Yes!" Harleen nodded, then noticed the two swords in Billy's hands. "Are these for me and Felicia?"
"Haha, how did you know?" Billy chuckled and said, "Take a look and see if you like them."
"I love them! I love anything you give me." Harleen replied with a happy expression, drawing out one of the swords.
"Wow! They're so beautiful!"
"How about trying them out outside?" Billy suggested with another smile.
"Sure!" Harleen nodded.
Soon, the two of them were in the courtyard.
Harleen's figure shifted as she flipped her wrist, displaying Stuart Sword Art. In no time, the sky above the courtyard was filled with phantom sword images, creating a gust of wind as they passed. Wherever the sword aura went, it left behind sword marks on the courtyard's fence.
"Break!" Harleen exclaimed and took two steps forward. Her sword thrust forward, and a substantial sword energy shot towards a stone pillar not far away.
A crisp sound echoed, and the stone pillar was split cleanly in half, with a smooth surface at the cut edge.
"Congratulations, my wife! I haven't seen you practice for a while, but your swordsmanship has improved a lot." Billy praised with a smile.
"In addition, the Central Plains Business Association opened a branch office in Nanrania two years ago, and the person in charge was a younger brother of the Harvey clan's patriarch."
"After the incident in Nanrania, he was recalled to the country by his family, and it seems that the branch office over there has been liquidated. Since his return, I had our people monitor his phone calls, and in the past few days, he made three calls to Nanrania. As expected, besides business matters, he also discussed quite a bit of classified information."
"The Harvey clan is truly audacious," Stout remarked with a furrowed brow. "This could be considered an act of treason, and they should be eradicated."
"Have you found any connections between the Harvey clan and the Central Region War Department?" Billy asked, furrowing his brows slightly.
"They have a military-industrial complex under its control, which has maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with the Central Region War Department." Azure Fang replied before adding, "Their military-industrial complex is managed by the patriarch's younger sister, Janice Harvey, who is a prominent socialite in Celestiford."
Billy narrowed his eyes.
"That woman is not simple. She manages the Harvey clan's relations with several core departments in Celestiford." Azure Fang continued. "In addition, she is a martial artist herself. She was sent to Cloud-Stepping Sect for martial cultivation from a young age and has now reached the Warlord level."
"Cloud-Stepping Sect?" Billy heard this name for the first time.
"Boss, it is a top-tier sect, slightly superior to Purple Light Sect." Stout explained.
"Interesting," Billy mused. "In that case, let's find Sheila Harvey first."
"Commander, since Sheila Harvey returned from Ozin last time, she has been staying in the Harvey clan's compound in Celestiford and hasn't left." Michael Hornig reported while driving. "However, today, representatives from several martial sects have gone to there. It seems to be people from Cloud-Stepping Sect. Sheila Harvey is responsible for receiving them. At present, they are all dining at a five-star hotel owned by the Harvey family. I've arranged for several of our men to keep an eye on them."
Billy raised an eyebrow. "In that case, let's skip SHADOW for now and head straight to her location."
"Understood!" Michael Hornig responded loudly.
